The last time Jeff Suppan suited up for St. Louis he was celebrating a World Series championship after helping carry the club through the NLCS. The Cardinals are now hoping the 16-year veteran can be a stopgap for an injury-depleted starting rotation. Suppan will make his first start for St. Louis in over four years Tuesday night when the Cardinals continue a three-game series against the lowly Seattle Mariners. St. Louis signed Suppan on Monday one week after he was cut by Milwaukee. The right-hander made only two starts at the beginning of the year before moving to the bullpen. Although Suppan is 135-137 in his career, he went 44-26 in three seasons with the Cardinals from 2004-06 and was instrumental to their 2006 World Series title. After being named the NLCS MVP, Suppan’s last appearance for St. Louis came in Game 4 of the ’06 Series, when he allowed three runs in six innings of a 5-4 win over Detroit, but didn’t receive a decision.
The Cardinals are hoping the 35-year-old can rediscover this success after being reunited with pitching coach Dave Duncan. The highly respected Duncan gave St. Louis the go-ahead in signing Suppan after the two had a bullpen session over the weekend. St. Louis is in need of some stable pitching from the back of its rotation with Brad Penny possibly out until the All-Star break and Kyle Lohse on the 60-day disabled list. The three starters used by the Cardinals in Penny and Lohse’s absence are a combined 1-3 with an 8.23 ERA in six starts. Suppan, who hasn’t started since yielding six runs and 10 hits in 4 1-3 innings of the Brewers’ 8-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs on April 23, is 2-4 with a 7.03 ERA in 15 career starts against the Mariners, but hasn’t faced them since 2004.
